Follow Kentucky on ACA

In the Nov. 18 edition of The Washington Post, three Democratic govenors wrote how the Affordable Care Act is being implemented successfully in their states.

"The Affordable Care Act has been successful in our states because our political and community leaders grasped the importance of expanding health-care coverage and have avoided the temptation to use health-care reform as a political football." In Washington, Connecticut and Kentucky, residents have enrolled in affordable health-care plans, many of whom had been denied coverage before passage of the ACA.

Under Gov. Steve Beshear, our neighbors in Kentucky have also expanded Medicaid because they realize they couldn't afford not to.

Our political leaders in Tennessee are still deliberating about expanding Medicaid for our most vulnerable residents. Let's hope and do all we can to guarantee that we will be as smart and as compassionate as the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
